Abstract
Chlamydophila pneumoniae is an atypical bacterial respiratory pathogen that is responsible for approximately 3-10% of community-acquired pneumonia cases. We report the evaluation of two distinct real-time PCR assays for rapid and specific detection of C. pneumoniae. We tested 401 clinical specimens, finding 5.7% positive, and confirmed a localized outbreak.Entities:
